2 2 What are the conditions the spacecraft must face in space? Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design Spacecraft Thermal Design 1.What is the source of heating and cooling for a s/c in space? a)Sun, internal, earth, moon, other planets, atmospheric friction, micrometeorites b)Radiation to cooler environment – deep space, other components 2.How does the thermal conditions in space differ than on the ground? a)No natural air convection source to conduct heat to or from areas of the spacecraft b)Vacuum – extreme, fast temperature variations 3.What are the extremes that a spacecraft will see in space? a)Sunlight vs eclipse b)Operation extremes – Tx, Thrusters

3 3 4.What is the range of temperatures that the s/c components can operate? a)-55C to 125C Military Specifications Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design 5.Will the space environment change over time in space? a)Solar cycle, orbit changes due to perturbations & seasons Spacecraft Thermal Design
